Independent auditors report


To the shareholders of SANITAS, AB:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Sanitas, AB (thereafter the Company) and the consolidated
financial statements of SANITAS, AB and its subsidiaries (thereafter the Group) (pages 7 to 60), which comprise the
balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2010, and the statements of comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company and the Group as of 31 December 2010, and their financial performance and their
cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
EU.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 4 to the financial statements, disclosing the fact that as of 31
December 2010 the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by LTL000 44,513. As further described in
Note 4 to the financial statements, the Companys ability to continue as a going concern primarily depends on the
managements abilities to use Group-wide cash management techniques to settle its short term liabilities as they fall due.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards


2.1. Standards and Interpretations effective in the current period
The following amendments to the existing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU) are effective for the
current period:

IFRS 1 (revised) First-time Adoption of IFRS adopted by the EU on 25 November 2009 (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010);
Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS- Additional Exemptions for First-time Adopters, adopted by
the EU on 23 June 2010 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010);
Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions adopted
by the EU on 23 March 2010 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010);
Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible hedged items, adopted by
the EU on 15 September 2009 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009);
Amendments to various standards and interpretations Improvements to IFRSs (2009) resulting from the annual
improvement project of IFRS published on 16 April 2009, adopted by the EU on 23 March 2010 (IFRS 2, IFRS 5,
IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 17, IAS 18, IAS 36, IAS 38, IAS 39, IFRIC 9 and IFRIC 16) primarily with a view to
removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording, adopted by the EU on 23 March 2010 (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2010);
IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements adopted by the EU on 25 March 2009 (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 30 March 2009);
IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate adopted by the EU on 22 July 2009 (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010);
IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation adopted by the EU on 4 June 2009 (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009);
IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-Cash Assets to Owners adopted by the EU on 26 November 2009 (effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 November 2009);
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers adopted by the EU on 27 November 2009 (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 November 2009).

The adoption of these amendments to the existing standards has not led to any changes in the Group accounting
policies.
The Group early adopted in 2009 the following amendments, effective in the current period:

IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations adopted by the EU on 3 June 2009 (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2009);
Amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements adopted by the EU on 3 June 2009
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).

2.2. Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements the following standards, revisions and interpretations adopted
by the EU were in issue but not yet effective and the Group has elected not to adopt these standards, revisions and
interpretation in advance of their effective dates:

IAS 24 Related party disclosures (revised in 2009) modifies the definition of a related party and simplifies
disclosures for government-related entities (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). The
Group does not expect any impact on its financial position or performance as the Group is not a government-related
entity;
Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation Classification of Rights Issues (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010) address the classification of certain rights issues denominated in a
foreign currency as either an equity instrument or as a financial liability. To date, the Group has not entered into any
arrangements that would fall within the scope of the amendments. However, if the Group does enter into any rights
issues within the scope of the amendments in future accounting periods, the amendments to IAS 32 will have an
impact on the classification of those rights issues;
Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS- Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for
First-time Adopters (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010). The Group does not expect any
impact on its financial position or performance from these amendments;

CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
all amounts are in thousand LTL unless otherwise stated

16

Amendments to IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement provides guidance on assessing


the recoverable amount of a net pension asset (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011).
The amendment permits an entity to treat the prepayment of a minimum funding requirement as an asset. The
amendment is deemed to have no impact on the financial statements of the Group;
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments provides guidance regarding the accounting
for the extinguishment of a financial liability by the issue of equity instruments (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 July 2010). To date, the Group has not entered into transactions of this nature. However, if
the Group does enter into any such transactions in the future, IFRIC 19 will affect the required accounting. In
particular, under IFRIC 19, equity instruments issued under such arrangements will be measured at their fair value,
and any difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the fair value of equity
instruments issued will be recognised in profit or loss.

2.3. Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the EU
At present, IFRSs as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by IASB except from the
following standards, amendments to the existing standards and interpretations, which were not endorsed for use as at
7 March 2011:

Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for Firsttime Adopters (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011);
Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Transfers of Financial Assets (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011);
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013);
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012);
Amendments to various standards and interpretations Improvements to IFRSs (2010) resulting from the annual
improvement project of IFRS published on 6 May 2010 (IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34, IFRIC 13)
primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording (most amendments are to be applied for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011).

The Group management anticipates that the adoption of these standards, amendments to the existing standards and
interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application.
At the same time, hedge accounting regarding the portfolio of financial assets and liabilities, whose principles have not
been adopted by EU, is still unregulated. According to the Group's estimates, application of hedge accounting for the
portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39" Financial Instruments: Recognitions and Measurement",
would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the balance sheet date.

3. Accounting principles
3.1. Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by
the EU.
3.2. Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments that
have been measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in
exchange for assets.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the consolidated and the separate financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2010 are set out below.
3.3. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the
Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and
expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into
line with those used by other members of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the
aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous
carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are accounted for (i.e.
reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings) in the same manner as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the
date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment
in an associate or jointly controlled entity.
Foreign currency translation
The Groups and Separate financial statements are presented in local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, Litas (LTL),
which is the Companys functional and the Groups and the Companys presentation currency. Each entity in the Group
determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using
that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the
functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non
monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the
acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising
on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the balance sheet date
rate.
The functional currency of the foreign operations in Polish subsidiaries Jelfa SA and Pharmaceutical Laboratory
HOMEOFARM Sp. z o.o and Slovak subsidiary Sanitas Pharma a.s. and ex-subsidiary HBM Pharma s.r.o. are Polish
Zloty (PLN) and euro (EUR), respectively. As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are
translated into the presentation currency of the Company (LTL) at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date
and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The
exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular
foreign operation is recognised in the profit or loss.
Lithuanian Litas is pegged to EUR at the rate of 3.4528 Litas for 1 EUR, and the exchange rates in relation to other
currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
3.4. Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each
acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or
assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are
adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other
subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in
accordance with relevant IFRS. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not
recognised.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Groups previously held interests in the acquired entity are
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if
any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have
previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would
be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

18

The acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS
3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised
and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquirees share-based payment
awards are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; and
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those
provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are
recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that,
if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information
about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year.
Business combinations that took place prior 1 January 2009 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version
of IFRS 3.
3.5. Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition
date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling
interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
If, after reassessment, the Groups interest in the fair value of the acquirees identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of
the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the
acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as
a bargain purchase gain.
Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill is allocated to each of the Groups cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill
allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in
the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on
disposal.
3.6. Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries in the Company's separate financial statements are shown at cost less impairment. An
assessment of whether any indication of impairment exists is performed at least annually.
3.7. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property,
plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. Replaced
parts are written-off. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset
is derecognised.

CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

19

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets as follows:

Buildings
Machinery and equipment
Vehicles and other non-current assets

10 40 years
3 25 years
2 10 years

The assets residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end, and
adjusted prospectively if appropriate.
Construction in progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction and equipment and other directly
attributable costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and are available
for their intended use.
3.8. Intangible assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic
benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After
initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated
impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill are assessed to be finite. Intangible assets
are amortised on a straight-line basis over the best estimate of their useful lives.
Gain or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual projects is recognised as an
intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will
be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate
future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the
expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to
be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset
begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised in 5 years. During the period of
development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Software
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an
integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised during 2 15 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group and the Company expect from
the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the
restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
Licences
The licences have been granted for a period from 2 to 10 years by the relevant government agency with the option of
renewal at the end of this period. The licences are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of license. The
licences provide the option for renewal based on whether the Group meets the conditions of the licence and may be
renewed at little or no cost to the Group. If the license term is prolonged, the amortisation period is revised.
3.9. Impairment of non-financial assets, excluding goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group and the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and
intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group
and the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a
reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cashgenerating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable
and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at
least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

20

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash
flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the
carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the
relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a
revaluation increase.
3.10. Investments and other financial assets
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, available for sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as
hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition.
Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or
loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or
convention in the marketplace (regular way purchase) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group
commits to purchase or sell the asset.
The Groups financial assets include cash, trade and other receivables, loans and other receivables and derivative
financial instruments.
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets
designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if
they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments
entered into by the Group that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with the gains or losses recognised in profit or
loss.
Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets which carry fixed or determinable payments and fixed
maturities and which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement held to
maturity investments are measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus
principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference
between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount, less allowance for impairment. This calculation
includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss
when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. The Group and the
Company did not have any held-to-maturity investments during the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market. After initial recognition, such financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on
acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and
losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through
the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale financial instruments


Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or
are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial measurement, available for sale financial assets
are measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses being recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss
previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. Interest earned or paid on
the investments is reported as interest income or expense using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on
investments are recognised in profit or loss as Dividends received when the right of payment has been established.
The Group and the Company did not have any available-for-sale investments during the years ended 31 December 2010
and 2009.
3.11. Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group
of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if,
there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition
of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include
indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in
interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where
observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in
arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
Assets carried at amortised cost
For amounts due from loans and amounts due from other parties carried at amortised cost, the Group and the Company
first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually
significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective
evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset
in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets
that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not
included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future
expected credit losses that have not been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an
allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the
estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised,
the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future writeoff is later recovered, the recovery is recognised in profit or loss.
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.
If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest
rate.
Available-for-sale financial investments
If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal
payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is
transferred from cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.
Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available for sale are not recognised in profit or loss. Any
increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Reversals of
impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss; if the increase in fair value of the instrument
can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
3.12. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable
production costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealisable inventories are fully written-off.

3.13. Cash and cash equivalents


Cash includes cash on hand and cash with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an
insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank
account as well as deposits in bank with original term of three months or less.
3.14. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans
and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group
determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair
value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs.
The Groups financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft, loans and borrowings, finance lease
liabilities, and derivative financial instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for
trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial
instruments entered into by the Group that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Gains or
losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit and loss. The Group has not designated any financial
liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss during the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as
well as through the amortisation process. The borrowings are classified as non-current if the financing agreement as at
the balance sheet date provides evidence that the substance of the liability at the balance sheet date was long-term.
3.15. Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at
inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the
arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as a lessee
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased
item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value
of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the
lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
reflected in profit or loss.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if
there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.16. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities


Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; and either (a) have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have transferred control of the
asset.

When the Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset
is recognised to the extent of the Group's and the Companys continuing involvement in the asset.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognised in profit or loss.
3.17. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as currency exchange option contracts and interest rate swaps to
hedge its foreign exchange risks and interest rate risks respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially
recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at
fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the
fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year that do not qualify for hedge
accounting and the ineffective portion of an effective hedge, are taken directly to profit or loss.
The fair value of currency exchange option contracts is the sum of the difference between the option exchange rate and
the contract rate and the time value. The option exchange rate is referenced to current option exchange rates for
contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market
values for similar instruments.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an
unrecognised firm commitment (except for foreign currency risk); or
cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk
in an unrecognised firm commitment; or
hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which
the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the
risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instruments effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to
changes in the hedged items fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be
highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to
determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were
designated.

24

Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income, while
any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred to profit or
loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is
recognised or when a forecast sale occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial
liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously accumulated in equity are transferred to
profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its
designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously accumulated in equity remain in equity until the forecast
transaction occurs.
The Group has an interest rate swap that is used as a hedge for the exposure to the changes in the variable interest rate
of Jelfa SA loans. See Note 27 for more details.
Current versus non-current classification
Derivative instruments that are not a designated and effective hedging instrument are classified as current or non-current
or separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances (i.e., the
underlying contracted cash flows):

where the Group will hold a derivative as an economic hedge (and does not apply hedge accounting), for a period
beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date, the derivative is classified as non-current or separated into current
and non-current portions) consistent with the classification of the underlying item;
embedded derivates that are not closely related to the host contract are classified consistent with the cash flows of
the host contract;
derivative instruments that are designated as, and are effective hedging instruments, are classified consistent with
the classification of the underlying hedged item. The derivative instrument is separated into a current portion and
non-current portion only if a reliable allocation can be made.

3.18. Grants
Grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions
will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the period necessary to
match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset,
it is recognised as deferred income and released to profit or loss in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the
related asset. In profit or loss, depreciation expense account is decreased by the amount of grant amortisation.
3.19. Employee benefits
Jelfa SA pays retirement benefits and jubilee bonuses for its employees. The amount of the liability due to these benefits
is equal to the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date, and reflect actuarial gains and
losses and the costs of past employment. The value of defined benefit obligations is estimated at the balance sheet date
by independent actuaries using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting estimated future cash outflow using the interest rates on treasury bonds expressed in the
currency of future benefit payment, with maturities similar to those of the liabilities due to be paid.
Actuarial gains and losses increase or decrease costs recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arose.
Costs of past employment related to defined benefit plans are accounted for in profit or loss systematically, using the
straight-line method, over the period until the benefits become vested.
3.20. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a
provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate
asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or
loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a
current pre tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

3.21. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements.
3.22. Current and deferred income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that
are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Current income tax relating to items that are recognised
outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity) is also recognised outside profit or
loss. Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based
on the respective countrys tax legislation.
The income tax rate in Lithuania was 20% in 2009. Since 1 January 2010 income tax rate was decreased to 15%. Tax
losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities
and/or derivative financial instruments in Lithuania. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the Company changes its
activities due to which these losses incurred except when the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons
which do not depend on Company itself. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments
can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the
transactions of the same nature.
The standard income tax rate in Poland and in Slovakia is 19%. According to Polish legislation tax losses may be carried
forward for 5 consecutive years. Up to half of the original loss may be deducted in any year of the 5 year period. In
Slovakia each years tax loss should be considered separately and can be carried forward over five consecutive tax
periods.
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the
reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:

where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, deferred income tax
assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax
asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent
that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.

26

Deferred income tax relating to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity), is also recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity
and the same taxation authority.
3.23. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders
of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
3.24. Dividends distribution
Dividends distribution to the Companys shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Groups and the separate financial
statements at the moment they are declared by the Annual General Shareholders Meeting.
3.25. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow
to the Group and the Company and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the
fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duty. The following
specific recognition criteria must also be met before the revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have
passed to the buyer.
Interest income
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method). Interest income is included in the
finance revenue in profit or loss.
Dividends
Revenue is recognised when the Groups right to receive the payment is established.
3.26. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and
expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially ready
for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is
recorded.
3.27. Operating segments
The Group has adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 January 2009. IFRS 8 requires operating
segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by
the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. In
contrast, the predecessor Standard (IAS 14 Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments
(business and geographical), using a risks and returns approach, with the entitys system of internal financial reporting to
key management personnel serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments. Following the
adoption of IFRS 8, the identification of the Groups reportable segments has not changed significantly.
3.28. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected
in the future. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed
below.

27

Impairment of goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the 'value
in use' of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use amount requires
management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of goodwill as at
31 December 2010 was LTL 265,300 thousand (as at 31 December 2009 - LTL 254,269 thousand) (further details are
given in Note 17).
Impairment loss of accounts receivable
The impairment loss of accounts receivable was determined based on managements estimates on recoverability and
timing relating to the amounts that will not be collectable according to the original terms of receivables. These accounting
estimates require significant judgment. Judgment is exercised based on significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments.
Current estimates could change significantly as a result of change in situation in the market and the economy as a
whole. Recoverability rate also highly depends on success rate and actions employed relating to recovery of significantly
overdue accounts receivable. Carrying amounts of receivables are disclosed in Notes 20 and 21.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group and the Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at
each reporting date. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future
cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present
value of those cash flows. The impairment of the Companys property plant and equipment was based on the
assumption that the manufacturing plant is operating with the contracts, which gives the minimum profitability.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount
of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together
with future tax planning strategies. The carrying value of recognised tax losses at 31 December 2010 for the Group was
LTL 6,336 thousand (as at 31 December 2009 LTL 9,470 thousand).
Useful life of property, plant and equipment
The key assumptions concerning determination of the useful life of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
expected usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence arising from
changes or improvements in the services, legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of
related leases.
3.29. Comparative figures
Where necessary, the comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

4. Going concern
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 are prepared under the assumption that the Group and
the Company will continue as a going concern.
In 2010 the Company incurred net losses of LTL 1,841 thousand (net losses of LTL 781 thousand in 2009) and the
Companys liquidity (total current assets/total current liabilities) and quick ratios ((total current assets-inventories)/total
current liabilities) as at 31 December 2010 were 0.28 and 0.20 (0.16 and 0.11 as at 31 December 2009, respectively).
Low liquidity ratios were mainly caused by LTL 16,177 thousand long term loan portion presentation as short term
Company liability, as the company did not comply with the covenants set out in the loan agreement with Swedbank, AB
(Note 25). The Group management has informed Swedbank, AB about this situation and prepares to renegotiate the
terms of this long term loan agreement in the nearest future.
The management of the Company prepared a forecast of the Companys and Groups operations for 2011, showing that
the forecasted 2011 cash flow from ordinary operations is sufficient to fully service the scheduled non-current and current
loans repayments that fall due in 2011 at the Group level. Therefore the repayment of the Companys loans which fall
due is also feasible, exercising Group-wide cash management techniques.
Finally, cash flow is managed at a Group level (Note 34) and is closely monitored by the Group management. This
ensures secure service of all the Group companies liabilities to third parties.
Taking into account the above facts, the management of the Company concludes that the Group and the Company will
continue as a going concern through 2011 and the following years.

5. Segment information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units on their products, and has four reportable
operating segments: injectables, tablets, ointments and eye drops and pre-filled syringes. Management monitors the
operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Groups accounting policies described in Note 3.
Operating expenses, which are directly related to the operating segments, are allocated to the particular segments.
Other operating expenses, related to the ordinary activities are indirectly allocated to the operating segments pro rata
production volumes in the period. One-off operating expenses are not allocated to the segments. Financial activities and
income taxes are managed on a Group level and are not allocated to the operating segments as well. This is the
measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of
segment performance.
For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

all assets are allocated to reportable segments other than investments in subsidiaries, other financial assets and
tax assets. Assets used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by
individual reportable segments;
all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than other financial liabilities, loans, current and deferred tax
liabilities, and other liabilities. Liabilities for which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to
segment assets.

During the last quarter of 2009 the Group and the Company finished a headcount optimisation process. As a result,
mutual basis agreements for employment termination were signed with some of the employees. Due to the redundancies
in 2009, the total amount of LTL 1,370 thousand was accounted in the Group administrative expenses (LTL 667
thousand expenses in the Companys administrative expenses) as termination compensations, accruals and related
taxes.
LTL 2,015 thousand Group income in 2010 of change in allowance for trade and other receivables in the Group
administrative expenses represents the reversal of the allowance of the receivable of Jelfa SA which was recorded
before the Company acquired this subsidiary, as Jelfa SA recovered the amount.
Administrative expenses include the fee paid to the auditors for the financial statements audit and other non-audit
services. Fee for the Groups and the Companys annual financial statements audit in 2010 amounted to LTL 273
thousand and LTL 121 thousand, respectively (in 2009 LTL 366 thousand and LTL 99 thousand, respectively). Non-audit
services for the Group in 2010 amounted to LTL 55 thousand.

The depreciation charge of the Groups and the Companys property, plant and equipment for the year 2010 amounts to
LTL 25,421 thousand and LTL 4,266 thousand, respectively (in the year 2009, respectively, LTL 27,566 thousand and
LTL 4,477 thousand). Amounts of LTL 3,625 thousand and LTL 1,740 thousand for the year 2010 (LTL 3,937 thousand
and LTL 1,782 thousand for the year 2009) have been included into operating expenses in the Groups and the
Companys statement of comprehensive income, respectively. The remaining amounts have been included into
production cost for the year.
Property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company with a net book value of LTL 196,733 thousand and
LTL 55,647 thousand, respectively, as at 31 December 2010 (LTL 233,005 thousand and LTL 64,993 thousand as at
31 December 2009) was pledged to banks as a collateral for the loans (Note 25).
Property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company with an acquisition cost of LTL 21,943 thousand and
LTL 7,853 thousand, respectively, were fully depreciated as at 31 December 2010 (as at 31 December 2009,
respectively, LTL 66,870 thousand and LTL 6,951 thousand) but were still in active use.
As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, the Group and the Company had no commitment to purchase property, plant and
equipment.
During the year 2010 and 2009, the Group and the Company did not capitalise any borrowing cost, as there were no
qualifying assets acquisition.
The recoverable amount of the Companys property, plant and equipment have been determined based on the value in
use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Group management covering a
5-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 8.4% (13.3% for year 2009) and cash flows
beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated using 5% growth rate (1% for year 2009), which reflects the expected average
rate of economic growth. As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, there were no indications of the Companys property, plant
and equipment impairment.

Impairment testing of goodwill


The goodwill acquired through Jelfa SA and Pharmaceutical Laboratory HOMEOFARM Sp. z o.o business combinations
in the amounts of LTL 262,076 thousand and LTL 3,224 thousand, respectively, as at 31 December 2010 (LTL 251,180
and LTL 3,089 thousand, respectively, as at 31 December 2009) has been allocated to the cash-generating units for
impairment testing according to the reportable segments (Note 5).

Public limited liability company SANITAS
CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
all amounts are in thousand LTL unless otherwise stated

43

The recoverable amount of the tested cash-generating units have been determined based on the value in use calculation
using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Group management covering a 5-year period.
The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10.4% (13.3% for year 2009) and cash flows beyond the 5year period are extrapolated using 0% growth rate (0% for year 2009), which reflects the expected average rate of
economic growth. As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, there were no indications of goodwill impairment.
The Group management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable
amounts are based would not cause the aggregate carrying amounts to exceed the aggregate recoverable amounts of
the cash-generating units.

On 3 June 2008 Jelfa SA PLN loans from banks Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. amounting
to PLN 248,000 thousand (principal amount in original currency PLN 310,000 thousand) were converted to EUR at
3.3515 PLN/EUR rate to EUR 73,997 thousand. In connection with this conversion Jelfa SA concluded an agreement for
hedging instruments and derivative instruments.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
The Group company Jelfa SA used EUR denominated borrowings in Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. and Bank Zachodni
WBK S.A. and PLN/EUR option contracts to manage some of its transaction exposures. These currency exchange
option contracts were not designated as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges and were entered into for periods
consistent with currency transaction exposures, generally one to 3 months. Such derivatives did not qualify for hedge
accounting.
Cash flow hedges
As at 31 December 2010 the Group company Jelfa SA had an interest rate swap agreement in place with a notional
amount outstanding of EUR 43,244 thousand (LTL 149,272 thousand) (as at 31 December 2009 EUR 55,554 thousand
(LTL 190,650 thousand)) whereby the Group receives a variable rate equal to 3-month EURIBOR and pays a fixed rate
of 5.25%.
The cash flow hedges of the expected loan repayments were assessed to be highly effective and a net unrealised loss of
LTL 4,391 thousand with deferred tax assets of LTL 834 thousand (as at 31 December 2009 - LTL 10,693 thousand with
deferred tax assets of LTL 2,031 thousand) relating to the hedging instruments is included in the Group equity. The fair
value loss of LTL 3,557 deferred in equity until 31 December 2010 (LTL 8,662 thousand as at 31 December 2009) is
expected to be released to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income till August 2011 on a quarterly basis
when loans repayments are due.
Fair value hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation
technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable,
either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on
observable market data.
As at 31 December 2010 and 2009 the value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and cash flow hedges
have been calculated using Level 2 valuation technique. During the reporting period ending 31 December 2010 and
2009, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of
Level 3 fair value measurements.

28. Deferred income from subsidies


On 21 January 2005 the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania, public institution Lithuanian Development
Agency for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises and the Company concluded an agreement to receive grants for the
financing of constructions of a new production plant of the Company. The total approved grant according to the amended
agreement amounts to LTL 16,061 thousand and is granted as actual expenses on construction are incurred. The total
amount of the received grant by the Company amounted to LTL 16,055 thousand.
During 2010, LTL 824 thousand of grant amortisation were released (LTL 794 thousand in 2009): LTL 376 thousand
have been included to the profit and loss of the Company and the Group (LTL 353 thousand in 2009), the remaining LTL
448 thousand (LTL 441 thousand in 2009) have been included into production cost for the year.
There are conditions set in the grant agreement, which if not fulfilled, the Agency for Small and Medium Sized
Enterprises might cancel the grant agreement and ask to return the paid money back. The Company has fulfilled all set
conditions in years 2010 and 2009.

34. Financial risk management objectives and policies


The Groups and the Companys principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise bank loans and overdrafts,
finance leases and trade payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Groups and
the Companys operations. The Group and the Company has various financial assets such as trade and other
receivables and cash, which arise directly from its operations. The Group also enters into derivative transactions.
The Group uses foreign currency options and interest rate swaps in order to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate
risks. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The principal financial risks to which the Group and the Company is exposed are those of interest rate, liquidity, foreign
exchange and credit. The Group Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are
summarised below.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. The Groups and the Companys exposure to the risk of changes in market interest
rates relates primarily to the long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. Current environment is not attractive
to target fixed interest rates (fixed interest rate is significantly higher than the float, and due to the volatility in the market
fixed interest rate is offered to short period of time only) and therefore the Group and the Company keeps majority of its
financial liabilities at floating interest rates.
To manage the interest rate risk the Group company Jelfa SA entered into interest rate swaps, in which it agreed to
exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference
to an agreed-upon notional principal amounts. These swaps are designated to hedge Jelfa SA loan from banks Bank
Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. (Note 27). The Group and the Company is ready to enter other
interest rate swap agreements if this allows to further mitigating risk.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables
held constant, of the Groups and the Companys profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings), which
also effects the Groups and the Companys equities and the Groups equity (due to changes in the fair value of interest
rate swaps). There is no impact on the Companys equity, other than current year profit impact.

Liquidity risk
The Management Board reviews the Groups liquidity risks annually as part of the planning process and on ad hoc basis.
The Board considers short-term requirements against available sources of funding taking into account cash flow.
The Group and the Company monitors its risk to a shortage of funds using a standard weekly report on the cash flows
with a liquidity projection for the future periods. The report considers projected cash flows from operations and allows for
the Group management to effectively plan cash injection if needed.
The Groups and the Companys objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through
the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, finance leases and factoring contracts.

Foreign exchange risk


Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Groups and the Companys exposure to the risk of changes in foreign
exchange rates relates primarily to the Group and Company operating activities (when revenue or expense are
denominated in a different currency from the Groups and the Companys functional currencies).
As a result of Group operations in Poland, the Groups balance sheet can be affected by movements in PLN/LTL
exchange rate. However currency translation risk from the translation of Poland subsidiaries financial statements to the
Group reporting currency were not taken into account in further disclosures.
The Group and the Company seeks to mitigate the effect of its structural currency exposure by keeping the assets and
the liabilities denominated in the same currency, which is the functional currency for each individual entity.
In June 2008 Jelfa SA loans from banks Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. amounting to PLN
248,000 thousand (principal amount in original currency PLN 310,000 thousand) were converted to EUR (Note 27). In
order to hedge foreign exchange risk the subsidiary entered into a number of options agreements securing PLN
conversion to EUR at 3.8 PLN/EUR exchange rate at loan instalment day for all instalments due until August 2010.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables)
and from its financing activities, which include foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
The credit risk related to receivables is managed by each Group company separately trading only with recognised,
creditworthy third parties. According to the Groups and the Companys policy all customers wishing to trade on credit
terms are subject to credit verification procedures. For transactions that do not occur in the countries, where the Group
has affiliates, the Group and the Company does not offer credit terms without the approval of the Head of Commercial
operations and Chief Financial Officer. In addition, outstanding receivable balances are monitored on a weekly basis by
the Group management. For the justified cases, the sales are stopped or prepayment for deliveries is required. When
possible, factoring without a right to recourse is used as additional security mean for trade accounts receivable in country
of operation. The Group also uses credit insurance for domestic and export trade protecting its trade accounts
receivable. The Group does not hold collateral as security.
5 customers with the greatest outstanding receivable balances represented 43% of total Group receivables as at
31 December 2010 (45% as at 31 December 2009). The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the
carrying value of the trade receivables, which is disclosed in Note 20.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group and the Company, which comprise other
financial assets, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents, the Groups and the Companys exposure to credit
risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Groups and the Companys principal financial instruments not carried at fair value are trade and other receivables,
trade and other payables, long-term and short-term borrowings.
Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties
in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market
prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.
The book value of the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2010
and 2009 approximated their fair value.
The fair value of borrowings has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at prevailing interest
rates. The fair value of loans and other financial assets have been calculated using market interest rates.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
(a) The carrying amount of current trade accounts receivable, current trade accounts payable and short-term
borrowings approximates fair value.
(b) The fair value of non-current debt is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the
current rates available for debt with the same maturity profile. The fair value of non-current borrowings with variable
and fixed interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.
Capital management
Capital includes total equity attributable to the shareholders of the Group and the Company. The primary objective of the
capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company maintains a strong credit health and healthy capital
ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Company and the Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic
conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes

8. Short history of SANITAS Group

developed, its owners were changing. History of the present SANITAS started in 1994, after privatization of the

In July 2005, SANITAS acquired manufacturer of generic medicines, limited liability company HBM Pharma s.r.o
(previously known as Hoechst- Biotika s.r.o) (hereinafter HBM), established in Martin city, Slovakia. Acquisition of HBM
was the first step to creation of SANITAS Group and at the same time strong step into markets of the Central Europe. At
the end of 2006 HBM established office in Prague, Czech Republic, which later was re-registered to affiliate.
In 2006, SANITAS went through a life-transforming transaction when it acquired Jelfa in Poland, a company several
times larger than SANITAS was at the time. Jelfa was well established in Poland, had world class production facilities,
including one of the largest ointment plants in Europe but was in need of modernisation, particularly in terms of its
product portfolio and culture. Over the subsequent few years, Jelfa has been integrated into SANITAS Group and been
transformed from a production-oriented company to a modern market-oriented pharmaceutical company focused on
improving the health and well being of patients. The acquisition of Jelfa added over 100 formulations to SANITAS
products offering as well as giving the Group a significant presence in Poland, Russia, Ukraine and the wider region.
The acquisition of Jelfa was partly financed by an issuance of new shares by SANITAS, which led to international private
equity funds CVCI (Citigroups private equity unit focusing on developing markets) and Amber Trust (Baltic-focused
private equity fund managed by Danske Capital and Firebird LLC) becoming shareholders of the company.
Over the last few years, SANITAS Group has been expanding its footprint in Central and Eastern Europe. The Group
established its own presence in Hungary and Bulgaria in 2005, and Czech and Slovakia in 2007.

On 23 December 2008 Jelfa acquired 100% stock of shares of Homeofarm, a niche dermatology / dermacosmetics
company based in Gdansk, northern Poland. This acquisition has complemented the Group assortment and pipeline in
this segment, consolidating the Group position as one of the leading dermatology players in Poland and the region.
On 27 April 2010 the agreement on sale of HBM was signed between SANITAS and Latvian company SIA Liplats 2000.
The parties agreed only on sale of manufacturing site located in Martin. Marketing, sales and regulatory divisions located
in Bratislava and Prague were separated from HBM and transferred to newly established HBM subsidiary Sanitas
Pharma. On 16 June 2010 SANITAS subsidiary Jelfa acquired 100% of Sanitas Pharma shares. The transaction on sale
of HBM between the Company and Latvian company SIA Liplats 2000 was closed on 8 July 2010.

24.2. Employees and human resources policy
24.2.1. Human resources policy

SANITAS Group has unified human resources (hereinafter HR) policy. General rules of this policy are applied in all
companies of SANITAS Group.
HR motivation and management rules applied in SANITAS Group companies are:
Structural remuneration system, which consists of regularly revised salary, which is set according to data presented by
international research company and bonus for individual performance. System assures, that salary paid for the employee
correspond with the salary level on the market. Regular evaluation of the targets performance allows measuring each
employee contribution to the overall result of the business. The system motivates the employees to achieve the set
targets and stimulates their initiative while solving the problems and presenting the suggestions. This system is applied
in SANITAS since 2009 and in Jelfa since the beginning of 2010.
Managers motivation, i.e. a new management incentive scheme Phantom Share Option Plan (hereinafter Plan), which
was approved by SANITAS General Shareholders Meeting on 9 October, 2009, taking into consideration the worldwide
best practice of the pharmaceutical companies. According to the Plan, certain monetary compensation will be paid to the
top and middle management of the Company and its subsidiaries after the sale of the Companys shares by certain
shareholders of the Company. Therefore it is expected that the proposed Plan will attract, retain and reward managing
employees as well as strengthen the alignment of interests between the Companys shareholders and its management.
Communication cooperation between SANITAS Group employees gives them the international experience and allows
them to apply this experience in everyday activities. Routine work targets for all SANITAS Group employees require
teamwork with the colleagues in foreign countries, that is why the employees have to have higher communicational skills
and wider professional knowledge. In order to strengthen the formation of general organisational culture and to keep
certain communication level in SANITAS Group companies, the informational bulletin InSanitas is being issued.
Social guarantees and support for the employees: the trade unions are acting in SANITAS and Jelfa, collective
agreements are also signed. Additional social payments on jubilees and loss of relatives are paid according to SANITAS
collective agreement. Jelfas collective agreement sets some guarantees on keeping employees working place, i.e.
some of Jelfas employees have additional employment guarantees for 3, 7 or 10 years. Jelfa is obliged to pay certain
payouts for the employees, who have worked for certain number of years according to its collective agreement.
Training policy the particularity of SANITAS Groups activity and GMP requirements obliges to create and improve the
internal trainings system, based on transferring the professional experience and skills. The employees in the majority of
the positions in manufacturing, technical support, supply chain, regulatory affairs and quality control departments have to
have specific professional knowledge, which is not possible to acquire in educational institutions. This knowledge is
transferred from one employee to the other through internal trainings and practical work. SANITAS Group companies
organise work safety courses, including knowledge on safe work with equipment, first aid and hygiene skills, etc.
Modern technical base, i.e. new and modern equipment, which are used in SANITAS Group companies not only assure
easier work performance, but also reduce the number of accidents at work and risk of professional diseases.

24.2.2. Employees statistics


130 employees worked at SANITAS on 31 December 2010, number of employees decreased by 1 comparing with 31
December 2009 and by 59 comparing with 31 December 2008. Total SANITAS Group headcount decreased by 264
employees in comparison with 31 December 2009 and by 437 in comparison with 31 December 2008.
Reduction of SANITAS Group headcount in 2010 was basically influenced by divestment of SANITAS Slovak subsidiary
HBM on 8 July 2010 (244 employees worked in HBM as of 30 June 2010). Sales, marketing and regulatory divisions in
Slovakia and the Czech Republic together with their employees (42) were separated from HBM and transferred to
Sanitas Pharma prior to the divestment. Reduction of SANITAS group and the Company headcount in 2009 was
influenced by headcount optimisation process. As a result, mutual basis agreements for employment termination were
signed with some of the employees. The headcount changes were planned and controlled.

In 2010 SANITAS accumulated about 150 tons of waste (147 tons in 2009 and 700 tons in 2008), 1.65 tons of them were
hazardous (0.5 tons in 2009 and 5 tons in 2008). More attention was paid for assortment of waste 18 tons of waste

The concentration on the therapeutic areas of dermatology, ophthalmology, diabetology, urology and hospital injectables
in 2010 continued. 4 dossiers were acquired and in house development of 4 other dossiers was finished in order to
strengthen the product portfolio in these therapeutic areas. SANITAS Group received 160 marketing authorizations in
2010 (108 in 2009 and 28 in 2008).
Licensing out activities were continued for products coming out of own developments in previous years, it is planned to
continue this business activity in future.
24.5. Purchases
Suppliers of SANITAS Group are divided into 2 groups, different purchasing strategies are applied to each of the group.
The first group consists of API, excipients and bulk suppliers. The most common features of this group large quantity of
suppliers and not big amount of items purchased from each of the supplier. By the end of 2010 SANITAS Group
purchased API, excipients and bulk from 157 suppliers (193 suppliers in 2009, 140 suppliers in 2008), the total amount of
purchased items is almost 400 (450 items in 2009 and above 600 in 2008). Possibility to decrease number of suppliers is
limited, as each production site produces different products, due to this reason different API and excipients are used in
production. The small amount of items purchased from each supplier does not give a lot of possibilities to use SANITAS
Group purchasing power and to agree on better purchasing and payment terms.
The second group includes packaging suppliers. For this group twice smaller amount of suppliers (82 by the end of 2010,
about 80 in 2009 and about 70 in 2008) and big amount of items purchased from each of the supplier are typical.
Especially big amount of items is purchased from printing houses, as for each finished product different boxes and
leaflets are used. It was purchased about 1,500 of different packaging items in 2010 (3,000 in 2009 and 6,000 in 2008).
As printed packaging materials are unique in each production site, the total number of packaging items used in SANITAS
Group sharply decreased in 2010 due to the sale of Slovakian production site. Several packaging suppliers are common
for all SANITAS Group it brings possibility to negotiate on better purchasing prices on Group level. Boxes, leaflets and
labels are purchased from local printing houses in Lithuania and Poland. As competition level in printing industry is very
high it allows getting good purchasing conditions and flexible delivery terms.

25. Financial activity review


The Group met 2010 plans and forecasts, which were set for this period in the last year. As planned, almost 50 new
products were launched. The Group did not expand to the new markets, but continued developing sales in existing
markets, which resulted in 15% sales increase in the key Group markets during 2010. The increased manufacturing
capacities (see Note 24.1) helped to use the resources more cost-effectively and contributed to the higher gross margin.
More over the reduction of back office spending and headcount reduction in 2009 gave positive effect to the current year
results.
In conclusion, the increase in sales and utilisation capacities and decrease in operating expenses resulted in higher
operative profit in 2010, in comparison to 2009, by LTL 25, 681 thousand. Moreover, the sale of the subsidiary HBM
Pharma s.r.o. contributed to the Group result by LTL 14,487 thousand. The mentioned facts influenced the significant
Group net result increase in comparison to prior year.

and new products introduction.

nearly 60% contribution to total Group own sales.

improving efficiency and lowering cost whenever possible.

that a company should set up both a collegial
supervisory body and a collegial management
body. The setting up of collegial bodies for
supervision and management facilitates clear
separation of management and supervisory
functions in the company, accountability and
control on the part of the chief executive officer,
which, in its turn, facilitate a more efficient and
transparent management process.

No

Collegial supervisory management body is not


formed in the Company. Companys collegial
management body is the Management Board.
The Management Board is able to supervise
implementation of strategic objectives of the
Company and control Companys management
properly. The Management Board elects Head of
the Company the General Manager who
periodically reports to the Management Board on
the Companys activity and implementation of
the objectives set for him. The Management
Board approves results of the previous reporting
periods and sets the objectives for the coming
reporting periods.

2.2. A collegial management body is responsible


for the strategic management of the company
and performs other key functions of corporate
governance. A collegial supervisory body is
responsible for the effective supervision of the
companys management bodies.

Yes

Collegial management body the Management


Board is responsible for the strategic
management of the Company. The Management
Board analyses and confirms activity strategy
presented by the Head of the Company,
analyses and assesses financial state of the
Company.

2.3. Where a company chooses to form only one


collegial body, it is recommended that it should
be a supervisory body, i.e. the supervisory
board. In such a case, the supervisory board is
responsible for the effective monitoring of the
functions performed by the companys chief
executive officer.

No

Collegial supervisory body is not formed in the


Company. The Management Board elects Head
of the Company who periodically reports to the
Management Board on the Companys activity
and implementation of the objectives set for him.
The Management Board approves results of the
previous reporting periods and sets the
objectives for the coming reporting periods.

2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected


by the general shareholders meeting should be
set up and should act in the manner defined in
Principles III and IV. Where a company should
decide not to set up a collegial supervisory body
but rather a collegial management body, i.e. the
board, Principles III and IV should apply to the
board as long as that does not contradict the
1
essence and purpose of this body.

Yes

Company does not have collegial supervisory


body, but it does have collegial management
body the Management Board (5 members)
elected by the General Shareholders Meeting.
Principles III and IV are applied to the
Management Board in so far as they do not
contradict the essence and purpose of this body.

Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body
that is essentially formed to ensure oversight of the companys board and the chief executive officer and to represent the companys shareholders.
However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV
become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and
nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board (e.g. formation of the committees), should not be applied to the board, as the competence and
functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) are different. For instance,
item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive officer of the
company, but not of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the
provision of recommendations to the companys chief executive officer; item 4.4 of the Code concerning independence of the collegial body elected by the
general meeting from the companys management bodies is applied to the extent it concerns independence from the chief executive officer.

bodies.

Applicable

Commentary

Yes

The Management Board is comprised of 5 (five)


members. Number of members was set and
members were elected by the General
Shareholders Meeting. In Companys view, there
is no situation when small group of individuals
can dominate decision-making in the
Management Board.

2.6. Non-executive directors or members of the


supervisory board should be appointed for
specified terms subject to individual re-election,
at maximum intervals provided for in the
Lithuanian legislation with a view to ensuring
necessary development of professional
experience and sufficiently frequent
reconfirmation of their status. A possibility to
remove them should also be stipulated however
this procedure should not be easier than the
removal procedure for an executive director or a
member of the management board.

Not applicable

The provision is not applicable whereas the


Company has only collegial management body
the Management Board.

2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by


the general shareholders meeting may be a
person whose current or past office constitutes
no obstacle to conduct independent and
impartial supervision. Where a company should
decide not to set up a supervisory board but
rather the board, it is recommended that the
chairman of the board and chief executive officer
of the company should be a different person.
Former companys chief executive officer should
not be immediately nominated as the chairman
of the collegial body elected by the general
shareholders meeting. When a company
chooses to departure from these
recommendations, it should furnish information
on the measures it has taken to ensure
impartiality of the supervision.

Yes

The Chairman of the Management Board and


Head of the Company is not the same person,
the Chairman of the Management Board was not
the Head of the Company before.

Principle III: The order of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders meeting
The order of the formation a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders meeting should ensure
representation of minority shareholders, accountability of this body to the shareholders and objective monitoring of the
3
companys operation and its management bodies.
3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a
collegial body to be elected by a general
shareholders meeting (hereinafter in this
Principle referred to as the collegial body)
should ensure objective and fair monitoring of
the companys management bodies as well as
representation of minority shareholders.

Yes

The mechanism of the formation of the


Management Board ensures objective and fair
monitoring of Companys management bodies.
Information on candidates to the Management
Board, their activities, qualification and
education are disclosed to the shareholders prior
to election in the General Shareholders Meeting
and in consolidated six months and annual
reports of the Company. Minority shareholders
rights and ability to have their own
representative in the collegial management body
is not restricted.

Definitions executive director and non-executive director are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.
Attention should be drawn to the fact that in the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders meeting is the board, it is natural
that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single-person body of
management, i.e. the companys chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.

3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to


become members of a collegial body,
information about their education, qualification,
professional background, positions taken and
potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed
early enough before the general shareholders
meeting so that the shareholders would have
sufficient time to make an informed voting
decision. All factors affecting the candidates
independence, the sample list of which is set out
in Recommendation 3.7, should be also
disclosed. The collegial body should also be
informed on any subsequent changes in the
provided information. The collegial body should,
on yearly basis, collect data provided in this item
on its members and disclose this in the
companys annual report.

Yes

Names and surnames of candidates offered to


the members of the Management Board are
announced through NASDAQ system in
advance, no less than 21 (twenty one) days
before the General Shareholders Meeting
together with draft resolutions. It is possible to
become familiar with information on candidates
education, qualification, professional experience
and positions taken at the Companys seat no
less than 21 (twenty one) days before the
General Shareholders Meeting. Candidates are
likewise introduced during the General
Shareholders Meeting. Company collects
information on its Management Board members
education, other positions taken and
participation in the activity of other companies
periodically. Information on the members of the
Management Board may be found in
consolidated six months and annual reports of
the Company.

3.3. Should a person be nominated for members


of a collegial body, such nomination should be
followed by the disclosure of information on
candidates particular competences relevant to
his/her service on the collegial body. In order
shareholders and investors are able to ascertain
whether members competence is further
relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual
report, disclose the information on its
composition and particular competences of
individual members which are relevant to their
service on the collegial body.

Yes

Companys consolidated annual and six months


reports include information on the composition of
the collegial body the Management Board. The
reports shortly introduce education and positions
taken in other companies by all member of the
Management Board giving the possibility to
shareholders and investors to ascertain whether
competences of individual members are relevant
to their services.

3.4 In order to maintain a proper balance in


terms of the current qualifications possessed by
its members, the desired composition of the
collegial body shall be determined with regard to
the companys structure and activities, and have
this periodically evaluated. The collegial body
should ensure that it is composed of members
who, as a whole, have the required diversity of
knowledge, judgment and experience to
complete their tasks properly. The members of
the audit committee, collectively, should have a
recent knowledge and relevant experience in the
fields of finance, accounting and/or audit for the
stock exchange listed companies. At least one of
the members of the remuneration committee
should have knowledge of and experience in the
field of remuneration policy.

No

Company only partially complies with this


recommendation. There is no practice of
evaluation of qualification of the Management
Board members. The qualification of the Audit
Committee members is evaluated twice a year. It
is considered that the Management Board and
the Audit Committee members have a wideranging recent knowledge in the fields of
finance, economics, law as well as sufficient
experience in order to have their tasks
performed properly.

3.5. All new members of the collegial body


should be offered a tailored program focused on
introducing a member with his/her duties,
corporate organization and activities. The
collegial body should conduct an annual review
to identify fields where its members need to
update their skills and knowledge.

No

Company only partially complies with this


provision: new members of the Management
Board are familiarized with the Companys
internal documentation, business processes,
factors having impact on activity results. An
annual review of the Management Board
members skills and knowledge is not performed
in the Company.

3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts


of interest related with a member of the collegial
body are resolved properly, the collegial body
4
should comprise a sufficient number of
5
independent members.

No

The matter of independent members in the


collegial management body and a sufficient
number thereof was not yet considered in the
Company. As this question will be considered
rational decision is aimed in order to ensure the
compliance with the recommendations of this
Code and interests of the shareholders. Specific
criteria for the evaluation of independence are
also going to be set.

3.7. A member of the collegial body should be


considered to be independent only if he is free of
any business, family or other relationship with
the company, its controlling shareholder or the
management of either, that creates a conflict of
interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all
cases when member of the collegial body is
likely to become dependent are impossible to
list, moreover, relationships and circumstances
associated with the determination of
independence may vary amongst companies
and the best practices of solving this problem
are yet to evolve in the course of time,
assessment of independence of a member of
the collegial body should be based on the
contents of the relationship and circumstances
rather than their form. The key criteria for
identifying whether a member of the collegial
body can be considered to be independent are
the following:

No

See comment to the clause 3.6.

1) He/she is not an executive director or


member of the board (if a collegial body
elected by the general shareholders
meeting is the supervisory board) of the
company or any associated company and
has not been such during the last five
years;
2) He/she is not an employee of the company
or some any company and has not been
such during the last three years, except for
cases when a member of the collegial body
does not belong to the senior management
and was elected to the collegial body as a
representative of the employees;

The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete
number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to
the novelty of the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent
members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is
sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate
governance.
5
It is notable that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes
of the majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body elected by the majority shareholders may be considered
independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

3) He/she is not receiving or has been not


receiving significant additional
remuneration from the company or
associated company other than
remuneration for the office in the collegial
body. Such additional remuneration
includes participation in share options or
some other performance based pay
systems; it does not include compensation
payments for the previous office in the
company (provided that such payment is
no way related with later position) as per
pension plans (inclusive of deferred
compensations);
4) He/she is not a controlling shareholder or
representative of such shareholder (control
as defined in the Council Directive
83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);
5) He/she does not have and did not have
any material business relations with the
company or associated company within the
past year directly or as a partner,
shareholder, director or superior employee
of the subject having such relationship. A
subject is considered to have business

3.8. The determination of what constitutes


independence is fundamentally an issue for the
collegial body itself to determine. The collegial
body may decide that, despite a particular
member meets all the criteria of independence
laid down in this Code, he cannot be considered
independent due to special personal or
company-related circumstances.

Not applicable

The Management Board did not determine key


criteria for identifying whether a member of the
collegial body can be considered as independent
yet. As it starts doing that, the Management
Board is not going to be limited of its right to
principally determine what constitutes
independence. The Management Board shall be
entitled to decide that despite a particular
member meets all the criteria of independence
laid down in this Code, he/she may not be held
independent due to special personal or the
Company related circumstances.

3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the


collegial body has come to in its determination of
whether a particular member of the body should
be considered to be independent should be
disclosed. When a person is nominated to
become a member of the collegial body, the
company should disclose whether it considers
the person to be independent. When a particular
member of the collegial body does not meet one
or more criteria of independence set out in this
Code, the company should disclose its reasons
for nevertheless considering the member to be
independent. In addition, the company should
annually disclose which members of the collegial
body it considers to be independent.

No

The Company does not comply with this


recommendation, whereas up till now
determination of independence of members of
the Management Board and announcement
thereof has not been applied in practice.

3.10. When one or more criteria of


independence set out in this Code has not been
met throughout the year, the company should
disclose its reasons for considering a particular
member of the collegial body to be independent.
To ensure accuracy of the information disclosed
in relation with the independence of the
members of the collegial body, the company
should require independent members to have
their independence periodically re-confirmed.

No

The Company does not comply with this


recommendation whereas up till now
determination of independence of members of
the Management Board and announcement
thereof has not been applied in practice. As key
criterions for identifying whether a member of
the collegial body can be considered as
independent will be identified, the Company is
going to announce reasons for holding one or
another member independent, cases when
members of the bodies do not meet the criteria
of independence throughout the year and are
still considered as independent, independent
members of the Management Board shall be
asked to confirm their independence.

3.11. In order to remunerate members of a


collegial body for their work and participation in
the meetings of the collegial body, they may be
6
remunerated from the companys funds. . The
general shareholders meeting should approve
the amount of such remuneration.

No

Members of the Management Board are not


remunerated from the Companys funds.

It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in
these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) provides that members of the supervisory board or
the board may be remunerated for their work in the supervisory board or the board by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by
Article 59 of this Law, i.e. from the companys profit. The current wording, contrary to the wording effective before 1 January 2004, eliminates the exclusive
requirement that annual bonuses (tantiems) should be the only form of the companys compensation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So
it seems that the Law contains no prohibition to remunerate members of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses,
although this possibility is not expressly stated either.

4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be


organized in a manner that independent
members of the collegial body could have major
influence in relevant areas where chances of
occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high.
Such areas to be considered as highly relevant
are issues of nomination of companys directors,
determination of directors remuneration and
control and assessment of companys audit.
Therefore when the mentioned issues are
attributable to the competence of the collegial
body, it is recommended that the collegial body
should establish nomination, remuneration, and
11
audit committees . Companies should ensure
that the functions attributable to the nomination,
remuneration, and audit committees are carried
out. However they may decide to merge these
functions and set up less than three committees.
In such case a company should explain in detail
reasons behind the selection of alternative
approach and how the selected approach
complies with the objectives set forth for the
three different committees. Should the collegial
body of the company comprise small number of
members, the functions assigned to the three
committees may be performed by the collegial

requirements advocated for the committees and
that adequate information is provided in this
respect. In such case provisions of this Code

the general shareholders meeting. The Law on Companies contains no prohibition to this effect either. Yet, in order not to encumber the companys activity
and escape an unreasonably frequent consideration of transactions at the meetings, companies are free to establish their own criteria of material
transactions, which are subject to the approval of the meeting. While establishing these criteria of material transactions, companies may follow the criteria
set out in items 3, 4, 5 and 6 of paragraph 4 of Article 34 of the Law on Companies or derogate from them in view of the specific nature of their operation
